No matter if you go for breakfast or lunch you can't go wrong. Their grilled potatoes are the best , their coffee is sooo Good. Best Chicken Salad sandwich. They have daily lunch specials all very good but the meatballs in sweet sauce on a bed of rice is to die for. NOW the ladies that work there are the nicest, sweetest and friendliest staff out there. You go once you will be hooked. Great atmosphere, good old time Diner.

I had high expectations when we were looking for a local place to have breakfast at while driving past Cornwall. Based on the high ratings, we picked Harv's. It's clearly a very popular spot with many locals, as the place was busy the entire time we were there. It has a real diner feel with cushioned stools at the counter and simple, somewhat outdated seating/tables and decor throughout. The service was pretty good .... a little slow to take our initial order but the servers were running around a lot and bussing the tables themselves. Coffee refills happened frequently, but the coffee is the epitome of diner coffee and not really good at all. The cooks are visible at the centre of the place and they were all working pretty hard and fast. I ordered Eggs Benedict and was asked if I wanted soft, medium or hard - I like my yolk to run, so ordered soft. When my meal arrived the eggs were hard in the middle; the English muffin wasn't toasted and there was 1 small pieces of thin bacon on each muffin. The sauce was tasty though and the hash browns were pretty good too. Eggs Benedict is my 'go-to' order at any breakfast place so this is why I've given it a very average rating as it was mediocre at best compared to many others places I've been to. Make sure to bring cash, as it is the only method of payment that they take.

Bring cash, unless you're willing to pay $3 to use their atm. Had to update my review from a couple of years ago. Prices have gone up and the food quality has gone down. That said, it was ok food.

Excellent breakfast, waitresses fast and friendly. Parking: Limited parking directly infront, extra parking in rear or meter parking on one way street Wheelchair accessibility: Flat and level entry, but the restaurant is quite busy and full. It may be difficult to move around in a wheelchair. People are friendly and would diffently help a handicapped person.

An excellent place to stop when driving through. We had 5 plates served quickly both times we went through, even though the place was busy. The servers (Lorrie and the others) are all solid, the cooks know how to properly cook an egg Benedict / soft, and the coleslaw stands out.

when I lived in cornwall for 3 years this place had the BEST breakfast around...Its STILL delicious and reasonably priced.. staff are.nice...I recommend getting Some of everything to try...eggs,sausage,bacon,homefries/hashbrowns,ham,baked beans etc...its just great breakfast there. (Edit*) I went again recently and got take out...it came in a styrofoam package that had holes from the heated food seeping right through the container.. this vant be healthy for us...other then that food was still good...but I dont think the packaging is proper.

Yes you heard me right 5 minutes and the food is cooked through and every bit as good, I am not biased but Harvs Diner is the best breakfast place in town not just because the food prices but the food is damn good! 2 thumbs up to the staff at Harvs Diner, keep up the good work :)

Staff were dismissive of us, I assume because we were kids, we ordered & received a bill with our meal before we asked. the waitress acted annoyed when we asked to add items to our meal & was impolite the whole time. Food was ok but with the amount of breakfast places in Cornwall I wouldn t recommend it

Been going here since I was a young kid. Food has always been fast and hot and delicious. I always get the Big Breakfast and it s more than enough food for a big man. The breakfast sausage and bacon have never let me down and the eggs are always done the way I like them. If theirs anything you could need. They will help you out no questions asked.
